There’s a difference between private diplomacy and systemic government corruption hidden by unjustified confidentiality.

There are real examples here of government corruption. Instead of trying to deflect the conversation with vague hand-waving, why not talk about the corruption?

You have your view, and I have mine. I’m not deflecting the conversation. We’re having a plain old collision here. I disagree with you about the merits of dumping all this stuff. You see the end of exposing corruption as so important that it justifies all sorts of collateral damage. I don’t.

It’s like, go ahead and burn the crops in the fields if you’re at war, but don’t cut down olive orchards. Assange is clear-cutting them.
